Things that I can do to get the perfect waist
The obliques are the muscles which are located on the rear sides of the abdominal wall. Their responsibility is side bending and all other moves which include twisting of the waist. By working the obliques, you get to sculpt and tone your waist, abdominal muscles and you will also be tightening your midsection. Here are some of the best exercises that you can do to achieve that desired fitness look.
- The Bicycle Crunches
This is a very common and well-known exercise, and it works your entire core, putting even more accent on your waist. You also get to burn a lot of calories since it is pretty demanding if done correctly. The way it is done is by laying down on the ground and slowly going upwards with your upper body, while your hands are being put on your head. You need to try to touch your knees with your elbow as you’re going upwards. With your left elbow, you should be touching your right knee, and doing the opposite with your right elbow.

- The Dumbbell Side Bending
Also a really common exercise, especially among those who work out in a gym. It is fairly easy to do but effective. The way this exercise is done is by grabbing a dumbbell with one hand and putting your other hand on your head. Make sure that the dumbbell is not too heavy as this is not the point of the exercise. It is a toning exercise, not a muscle building one, so the point is to have a light dumbbell in your hand and doing a higher number of repetitions. Slowly bend your body on the side and straighten it back up. That’s it, that is one repetition of this exercise. Do five sets of twenty for example, and you will start seeing amazing results in no-time. Make sure to do the same amount of repetitions for your other side as well, you don’t want to be causing any muscle imbalances between your two sides. Your body is symmetrical and you should be working each part parallel with the other.
